sports yacht FAQ

We're committed to making yacht buying easier, so if you can't find what you're looking for just ask.

  • Open Sports Yachts boats are still around, although they tend to be more focused on the performance end of the market, with generally less interior space across the yacht.

  • The extra build of a flybridge yacht, a whole deck’s worth, means it tends to be more expensive. How much more expensive is very much down to the exact models in question. The same builder offering two 15m hulls with the option of a flybridge or sports yacht superstructure may make only a small adjustment of around 10%-20%. 

    In terms of running costs, the main advantage for a sports yacht is improved fuel efficiency due to less structural weight and so a theoretically lower displacement.

  • The sports yacht did grow out of Mediterranean yachting culture, but it is perfectly suitable for all cruising grounds. Its focus on handling and deck space has now been joined by impressive levels of interior space, so a sports yacht offers a good mix of skills regardless of where you boat.

  • A useful development of hardtop design has been the ability to close of the interior section for the deck, creating a separate aft cockpit. Importantly, this also allows you to secure and protect the interior. A mixture of sliding doors and cleverly folding glass sections usually combine to open or close the interior and deck sections.   

    In such an instance, the interior section is called a deck salon and its new, protected status usually delivers a more luxurious lounge-like finish than on an open yacht.

  • The term ‘open’ can be misleading, and is sometimes used as a straight substitute for the term sports yacht itself. 

    It is most commonly, and correctly, used to describe a yacht that is completely open to the elements, or one with a hardtop that opens onto the cockpit, without any separating doors. 

    But to confuse matters, some builders of large sports yachts, complete with cockpit doors,  refer to them as open yachts, perhaps because they adhere to older designs that were once fully open.

  • Most sports yachts under 14m (45ft) will be powered by twin engines running on sterndrives. The arrival of pod drives means there is now more choice from around 12m but sterndrives are still the dominant force in sports yachts between 10m - 12m.

    The reason why sterndrives are so popular is simple, good performance and economy, allied to improved interior living space.

    If your sterdrive concerns are due to potential service costs or reliability, it is worth remembering that new yachts come with warranties and that most sterndrive issues are related to poor ownership rather than inherent faults.
